Okay I lied about sleeping good. The last two nights, Hannelora and I haven't slept so well. I don't know if I feel a bit more stressed with all the overwhelming cooking and baking plus taking 2 more kiddos on for home school or what. If I didn't have people's support, I would quit instantly. I don't know how many times I have thought about eating pasta, chips, chocolate... I am pretty good with self control, but emotionally I feel this is hard. I am stubborn because for too many years, I banned food and I have a hard time doing it once again even if it is good for us. For someone who doesn't crave sweets, this would be perfect. I read sugar is 40 x more addictive than coccaine! Amazing.... I have no idea how many lbs of butter or coconut oil I have used in the last week and half. Yes, we use honey, which is a lifesaver. Especially smoothies.
I have skipped taking pictures of a few meals because quite frankly I forgot. I started school this week. Wow, I forgot how much more work it is... I believe we will get into the groove, I just need to tweek some attitudes. Lord, please help me.
Last nights meal: Asian, orange pork/ asparagus/ smoothie
Cozi baked Coconut flour bread- onions/ parsley
eggs, homemade plain yogurt and fruit
almond butter on celery/ apples/ carrots
White bean chili/ salad/ coconut bread
The bread was awesome! For the first time, I felt like I was eating bread. Sooooo good! Amazingly, I do have a lot of extra help in the kitchen. I am very thankful for it. I guess one great thing about switching to organic, Cozi laps up natural peanut butter like it's Jiff!
